Thanks! One of the many young people who follow me should follow up. A fun project.
Hello @R_Thaler,

As an editor in Japan, I always keep your Nudge theory in mind when writing.

I recently found a surprising dataset from 2022 on sibling fights here. An 11-year-old girl conducted independent research to figure out why they fight, collecting data on "100 sibling battles" with hand-drawn charts!

However, her 8-year-old brother’s official comment was simply: "We don't fight."

I thought this adorable gap between objective data and subjective perception was such a classic behavioral insight, so I wanted to share it with you.

Wishing you a wonderful autumn season!
